Chennai: As India’s healthcare sector strategizes for a post-Covid normal, it is evident that Covid care will have to co-exist with elective surgeries and routine check-ups.
But patients hesitate, for fear of infection as concerns about a third Covid-19 wave continue. Besides the high risk of transmission, the immense pressure to serve during the pandemic that our frontline health workers faced medical facilities, hospitals, path labs, and diagnostic centers have also taken on enormous economic pressure.
People being worried about the risk of transmission of the Coronavirus at these facilities land up delaying most elective surgeries, dental work, routine check-ups, and even pregnancies, so business has taken a hit.
Hence, in an endeavor to spread awareness, Shycocan Corporation held a webinar and panel discussion on technology that provides patients, caregivers, and healthcare personnel the safety from virus transmission in enclosed spaces and how Shycocan Corporation as an organization is trying to bring life and business back to normal.

The session saw participation/ registrations from a large cross-section of healthcare professionals including doctors and more.

The pandemic has made us realize the value of ventilation, segregation, strict hygiene as we weren’t prepared to face the pandemic when it hit us. So, from all the respects, we were caught unaware. So, the pandemic has changed the ways hospitals are designed, ventilated, and infection control practices for the decades to come. The experience has made us change completely, said Dr. Alok Roy, Chairman & Managing Director, Medica Synergie,
Moreover, the webinar saw Mr. Alok Sharma talking about the world’s first virus attenuation device, Shycocan, that neutralizes up to 99.9 percent of the entire family of Coronavirus and brings back the businesses to normal and can be deployed at clinics, vaccination centers, and healthcare institutions to bring down the threat of infection for both patients and healthcare personnel.
